Tour de France Tour de France 2025, Stage 18: Vif - Courchevel Col de La Loze(171.5k)

[Rule #9 apostle]

Visma going nowhere now, they should slow down and try again with yates-kuss-jorge up the loze

 

[Peyroteo94]

I love it when people underestimate the greatness of La Madeleine!

I still rememver Cadel Evans almost crying here in the yellow jersey.

 

[No Excuses]

Pogacar on the radio a lot, I wonder why

Asking for permission to launch a pogenheimer

 

[Red Rick]

Visma in the simplest position possible. Everything loses, so nothing matters.

 

[dobrien]

Jonas would have been better without him possibly. This is just recovery time for Pog

Not with a headwind, just not conducive to trying here.

 

[ontheroad]

Vismas plan is working so far.

Just isolate Pogacar and hope he has a crash or a mechanical. It's their only hope.

 

[E_F_]

Vingegaard should attack over the top. He can always wait for Jorge to get back to them.

 

[ice&fire]

because like this Bora has 2 podiums
Roglic 3rd in general classement
Lipowitz 1st in young riders classement

Bora is a German team, but the do have international sponsors

Their main sponsor is from Austria, which lies just between Germany and Slovenia

 

[iBanesto]

Lipo is killing the group behind but he'll just end in the middle of nowhere right now.
Bora will have a decision to make.

FloLip is wasting energy if he doesn't make it to the Pogacar/Vingegaard group because he will get caught by the Onley group on the descent.

 

[BubbaChuck]

drop him on madeliane,lets be serius.

 

[Red Rick]

Jorgenson is a great descender. It's the one card you can play.

 

[Gargamel35]

I must say Lipo is going really well.

 

[E_F_]

drop him on madeliane,lets be serius.

Yeah it's time for Jonas to stop playing around!

 

[Gigs_98]

C'mon Jonas, one more little dig

 

[dazaau]

Pogacar on the radio a lot, I wonder why

Is urska racing 😅

 

[Gargamel35]

I must say Lipo is going really well.

Or Jorgenssen is really slow.

 

[ontheroad]

Lipowitz riding a good tempo maintaining the gap.

Onley is leaking time however.

 

[Boehmand]

People need to remember de la Loze is 26.5K

There is plenty of racing to go yet.

 

[dazaau]

Not with a headwind, just not conducive to trying here.

Fair call it does look windy

 

[Peyroteo94]

Vingegaard trying the polka dot?

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Vismas plan is working so far.

Just isolate Pogacar and hope he has a crash or a mechanical. It's their only hope.

Let's hope Pog spots the car that might be coming his way.

 

[No Excuses]

Is urska racing 😅

She asked pog to fix the kitchen

 

[Sciatic]

what an absolute beauty of a mountain pass. Which I could have tackled that in my riding days.

 

[stetre76]

Their main sponsor is from Austria, which lies just between Germany and Slovenia

thanks for the Info - best wishes from Innsbruck....Austria

 

[Didinho]

Record on Glandon. Also Madeleine?

Lipo will come back I think.
